2004 dodge stratus sxt 4 cyl

The car is making a loud "whirring"/"whining" noise with exceleration and with braking also...doesnt do it when idling or at a constant speed where no real pressure applied to gas pedal...transmission, oil, power steering, brake fluids all ok levels

This could be one of 2 things, your alternator or power steering pump! But the braking part has me scratching my head! Dose it make this sound if the car is stopped an you rev the engine??? Has the car been in a 'fender-bender' lately? Do need more info!! Sorry Frankster016

Generally in google search type obd2 then po446 or whatever and an obd2 site will come up w specifics for that code. Vehicle specific generally doesnt matter. http://www.obd-codes.com/p0446 typing odb2 before the code is important to find the right site. Refer to link for specifics or search using that format I suggested.
